| VTL 750 Reference VS. Atma-Sphere MA 2 MK 2.2 Mejames, if you are concerned with the 4 ohm load being driven by an OTL, you should look into "The Zero". It is an autoformer that allows the amp to "see" an 8 or 16 ohm load. Some would say that putting a transformer between an OTL amp and a spe... | |
| Best amp for Avalon Eidolon speakers? Albert, the Kharma's just might fill your room. Before moving the Ceramique 1.0's into my basement listening room, I tried them in my great room which is roughly 6700 cu. ft. They sounded marvelous with a 60 w/ch integrated!I haven't heard the sou... | |
| Purist Audio new cables Nrchy, thanks for your thoughts regarding Cardas Golden Cross. I've been considering either Cardas Golden Reference or PAD cables to replace my Synergistic Res Ref and Designer Ref IC and Speaker cable. The Synergistic is excellent cable IMO, but ... | |
| Purist Audio new cables Nrchy, I noticed that you also have Cardas Golden Cross in your system. How does it compare to the Purist Proteus and Colossus? | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole Turnaround, I haven't dismissed dCS. I'm frustrated that a simple marketing trick can cause so many of us to part with our hard earned cash. AND I'm not talking about just dCS, although they were one of the early ones to play the game. If you don'... | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole Glreno, I think you missed my point. What is the significance of "upsampling" to 96kHz, or to 192kHz for that matter? Why not 220.5kHz(5X), or 264.6kHz(6X) or even better yet 352.8kHz(8X)? The ONLY reason for choosing 96 or 192 is due to its name ... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound Tok, how can I get my TT to sound like digital? | |
| DCS Verdi Elgar Purcell VS. Audio Aero Capitole So now we're "upsampling to SACD" too?? It's amazing how effective marketing bull**** can be! Wasn't dCS the first to start using the "upsampling to 24/96" phrase? I'm inclined to believe what Verybigamp said above in his 2nd sentence about the qu... | |
| CD Players with Analogue Sound I have the Mk I version and it is analog-like smooth, rich instrumental textures, and surprisingly good and tuneful bass. Highly recommend!! | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/192... anyone know if the Uggh... I don't have a "CD/Pre" button on the remote. I have the LCD remote and the only way I can control volume is by pressing the "Sel1" button. The CD button does not give you a way to adjust volume, only tracks mainly. There is an amp button,... | |
| Audio Aero Capitole 24/192... anyone know if the The reason I am wondering about this is that the original Soundstage review stated there were both digital and analog volume controls and that the remote only controlled the digital volume control and the front panel the analog volume control. I d... | |
| Transparent VS Synergistic Research I have tried both and initially preferred the Transparent. The Synergistic took a little time to appreciate its virtues and ultimately I preferred the Synergistic. In an overly brite or analytical system, I could see how the Transparent could be m... | |
| New DAC or New CDP? Redcarrera, you're CDP comes equipped with an excellent transport. Matching the CD1 with the ARC DACIII Mk2 would be about as good as anything you'll find anywhere near the price. The DACIII Mk2 is one of the most analogue sounding dacs I've heard... | |
| Eidolon vs Opus Please do not misinterpret my observations as those of an expert. I am not; however, I have owned (and loved) the Avalon Eclipse. On several occasions I have listened to the Avalon Eidolon with both top-of-the-line Spectral and a Spectral digital/... | |
| Can anyone describe the sound of the Kharma... Jayme, I have read this review (several times in fact) prior to purchasing the Kharma Ceramiques 1.0. It made me somewhat (quite a bit) nervous because it seemed to imply that the speaker fell decidedly on the analytical side, though still an exce... |
